More than 3,000 runners and walkers cross the finish line in all three races combined each year at Portland’s The Great Pumpkin Run, a Halloween-themed race that sees participants dress out for the event in full costume for a run through downtown Troutdale and along the Sandy River.
Now something of a running tradition in Portland, the race celebrates its 20th annual running this year, when it plans on welcoming more than 1,000 runners and walkers for the half-marathon race alone. Each year, the race features a different theme for the costumes they encourage runners to wear — check the race website shown below for more information on this year’s theme.
